Bolstering Energy Awareness on Earth Day 2002

As tens of thousands of Earth Day activities get underway around the nation on April 22, 2002 and throughout the month, DOE sites across the country are joining in the festivities by coordinating events, exhibits, and community fairs. DOE Earth Day activities are highlighting energy awareness and the importance of energy resources, efficiency in energy use, and the role of energy conservation for the creation of a healthy future for our planet.

Several exhibits demonstrating Department programs will be on display in the lobby of DOE Headquarters Forrestal Building, including an exhibit organized by FEMP. Among the materials that FEMP will be distributing will be an Earth Day poster, with the theme "Red, White, Blue . . . and Green." The FEMP poster's tag line is "Show your true colors this Earth Day. Use Renewable Energy for a Secure America." FEMP is distributing posters and other energy awareness materials to Federal agencies and State and local governments holding Earth Day fairs and events.

The FEMP Earth Day poster can be ordered through DOE's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse at 800-363-3732. For more information, please contact Annie Haskins of FEMP at 202-586-4536 or annie.haskins@ee.doe.gov.
